IMO what went down while reflects on Jordan; the root of the problem is Cuban. The guy is like a ping pong ball. Always bouncing around doing and saying different things. There is no stability to him and personally, I wouldn't want to work with someone so unstable. My best friend one minute, then I'm a castoff the next. How could anyone with the exception of Dirk trust him with their livelihood? He even **** on Steve Nash.
Jerry has problems, but at least his players trust him to do right by them. Cuban? **** no.
The people that I know that currently do work for Cuban or those that have worked for Cuban in the past universally consider him to be an outstanding boss.
And almost all the players that the Mavs have allowed to walk over the years still call him a great owner. Almost all would gladly return.
He did blow the Nash deal a decade ago though, yes.
Jordan a had right to change his mind, but he handled it a massively spineless manner.
And yes, he screwed the franchise in so many ways by how this went down. The 15 year playoff streak is probably done, Chandler was allowed to leave, and the future in general looks pretty dire....though I'm sure they'll be fine in a few years.
